Getting Creative

I'm unemployed, and loving it. Sure, I'll soon run out of money, but in the mean time...it's great. Yesterday I was able to visit with a friend I haven't seen in months and then spend the rest of the day doing whatever I wanted! Yes! I stopped by the Bay Arts center. They have a lovely shop filled wiht handmade items including wall art, repurposed art like paited chairs, jewelry, screen printed onsies, and hand thrown teapots. On my way out I signed up to be a volunteer. I'm not sure what I'll be helping with, but I guess they can use the help around the holidays.

The trip through the shop inspired me. I stopped by the craft store on my way home and picked up three wooden blank badges, police, sheriff, and fire. I alreayd had the pinbacks at home from a St. Paddy's Day pin project last year. I'm going to hand paint them for my little nephew. Sure, it will be a while (a couple of years) until he will be wearing them but I'm excited. I found an example of what I want to do on etsy. Although, this one is stamped and mine will be painted.
